All work and no play..,

Anyone notice on page 126 of original hardback of Pet Sematary that Steve Masterton says "all work and no play make jack a dull boy"? I know this proverb was used in the film of The Shining in 1980 and wasn't present in the novel, if my memory serves me correctly. Pet Sematary was published in 83 (Wikipedia says it was written around 78 though) three years after the film The Shining. I was wondering if this was merely coincidence or did King throw this in because of the shining?

...not EVERYTHING in the King universe is necessarily intertwined...the line has been around since approx. 1659, so by my calculations-that would pre-date both Kubrick & King, but thanks for playing the home game of "Proverbs Am Us"....
